Waweru Mwaura was planning to fly home to Kenya when he was arrested at DFW Airport on an outstanding warrant. Authorities say Mwaura hanged himself in his jail cell, but his family claims jailers didn't do enough to protect him. The Mwaura family filed a federal civil rights lawsuit Monday, claiming officials failed to notice obvious signs of distress and violated policy for how often inmates should be checked on. The family has requested a jury trial in the case. Airport officials declined to comment on the lawsuit, citing the pending litigation.
